V&A defends itself against ‘artwash’ accusations

Protests at the museum’s decision to display a section of the condemned Robin Hood Gardens social housing estate at the Venice Biennale have been dismissed by Director Tristram Hunt. Writing in The Art Newspaper, he said the museum had been active in London since 1872, and will still be there “long after the keyboard warriors and ‘art-wash’ agitators have moved onto their next bout of indignation”.
